Frequently Asked Questions

Who comes for counselling?Just about anyone. Young, old, male, female, gay, straight, trans ... You do not need to be in crisis.

What are the symptoms that indicate I may benefit from counselling?Loss of appetite for life, feeling there must be more to life than this, depression, anxiety, anger, inability to cope, or a conscious desire for self-development.

Do you counsel couples?No. At present, I only counsel individuals about their relationship difficulties.

Is counselling confidential?Yes. However, in line with best counselling practice, I present my work to a supervisor. Your anonymity would be respected throughout this process.

How often does counselling take place?Normally once a week.

How long does it take?Some people come for just a few sessions to talk through a particular issue that is challenging them in the present. Other people come to explore more deeply the reasons behind patterns of behaviour which may have been troubling them for years. The important thing is to find what is right for you, and we would discuss this at our initial meeting. I sometimes suggest that we agree to meet for six sessions and then discuss the next step.
